I see that the CMIF API for @correspSearch is already planned - great! We're looking forward to the metadata! CU at @teimec2023!

Okay Fedi-friends,

Over the last year or two, I've been trying to send more handwritten letters, both because the process of writing them is relaxing, and because it allows me to communicate in a medium where my thoughts are unlikely to end up in the control of some tech bro. So

1. Would anyone enjoy a letter? And
2. How do I get someone a letter without them having to give a physical address to some stranger on the internet?

@rafaelmaxlove We're in that camp of people who appreciate letter writing and find receiving such postal mail a treat! As we mention in FAQ #3 bikemonterey.org/about/financi, that includes we're happy to send acknowledgements via postal mail—as we just did this morning to thank @mtheriaultsf for his thoughtful July 17 contribution. Here's a related photo from our Contact, etc. page.

From a handwritten letter:

“A friend of mine one suggested that writing letters in the present time was akin to performance art. I think what he meant was not the activity itself but my frequent references and advocacy for giving it a try, though I am not monstrous enough to presume it is for everybody…”

And I wrote to two friends.

One, in Wales, about our countries’ politics, to recommend, and human relationships with automobiles; and a friend from my elementary school days, who writes of her recovery from a rare medical condition, surgery, and the weirdness of nerve damage.

This is the desk on which I write my . It is hinged, and inside are my sheets of paper, envelopes, stamps, etc. 2/2

Incredible.

> For centuries since, the bulging boxes of those undelivered letters, seized from around 35,000 ships, sat neglected in British government storage, a kind of half-forgotten dead letter office for intercepted mail.

> The project […] aims to make the collection of more than 160,000 letters and hundreds of thousands of other documents, written in at least 19 languages, freely available and easily searchable online.

Not surprisingly, Robert Louis Stevenson, besides writing splendid fiction & essays, was a fantastic letter writer.

Mafalda Cipollone, retired archivist & scholar, has an illustrated blog dedicated to RLS' correspondence.

Her description: "I’m accompanying each selected letter with a complement of pictures, most from RLS’s time, enabling the reader to make a journey through time and places...."

Return to sender: writers mourn loss of physical letters as Australia Post contemplates decline (The Guardian)

The postal service predicts letters will become ‘peripheral’ as mass communication further shifts to digital – to the regret of some.

It’s February! And that means we’re back in that lovely month of the year that has an extra focus on snailmail.
I have been writing letters since I was 8 years old and I still love to sit down and put my fountain pen to paper. Some of my faraway friends go waaay back.

Happy Month of Letters! 🐌📮💌
